Chapter 538
When Olivia met Xavier in the hospital, he was sleeping.
Unexpectedly, Xavier opened his eyes and looked over as soon as she walked in. He froze slightly before saying with a smile, “Pheebs, I thought you weren’t coming.”
“No way. I promised you I would come.”
With that said, Olivia put the insulated food container on the table and adjusted the bed upward.
“Have you eaten?”
“Yeah, but hospital food sucks…”
Olivia opened the food container and poured him a bowl of soup. “Try it. It should be good for your health.”
“What’s this?”
“I don’t know. I asked Fred to make it…”
Xavier’s expression changed slightly when he heard Fred’s name. “He didn’t poison it, did he?”
Olivia burst into laughter. “He knows I’m bringing it over. How could he poison it? Won’t I be implicated if it’s poisoned?”
Xavier’s eyes moved. “Yeah, you have a point. I can drink it then.”
“I’ll make you some soup tomorrow. I asked Fred to get the ingredients.”
“Okay, anything is fine as long as you’re the one making it.”
Olivia shook her head helplessly. He seemed to be recovering well if he was so chatty.
When Xavier finished the soup, the two chatted casually, and Olivia made up an excuse to go back.
Xavier was reluctant, but he did not stop her. He was only a little sad. “Are you really coming back. tomorrow?”
“Yes, you’re my savior after all.”
After thinking about it, Olivia said, “By the way, savior, being hospitalized is boring. Is there anything you want me to bring? I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”
“Why don’t you bring me some novels or comics?”
“Okay, give me a list of what you want.”
“Sure, I’ll send it to you later.”
“Okay, I gotta go.”
Xavier looked reluctant. “Bye, Pheebs.”
Xavier sent the list right after Olivia got into the taxi.
“Take me to the nearest bookstore, şir.”
After sitting down, Olivia got a call from Fred.
As she was hanging up, she accidentally saw a news article about Ocean City and clicked on it. However, she saw a headline that read, “The heiress of the Jameson family was stabbed and rushed to hospital for immediate rescue overnight. The suspect is still on the run!”.
‘What?
‘Dorothy was stabbed?
‘Could Ken have done it?’
The news made Olivia fidgety. She momentarily pondered it with a frown before getting up and saying, “Xavier, can you go back to your ward by yourself?”
“What’s the matter? Is something wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m not feeling well. I’d like to go home first, can I?”
Xavier observed her and nodded. “Okay, I can go back by myself. Do you want to see a doctor?”
“No thanks. I’ll take some pills after I get home. I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
With that said, Olivia hurried off. She called Ken as she walked.
She already told him not to mess around, but he did not listen.
Xavier looked at her hurried figure as his face darkened. Without saying a word, he got up and went upstairs.
